THE HUNTINGTON Has Mr. Hammond Secured Control of His Branding Iron? bond to their union as partners In bi'lM Ing the Central Paclflc. When they -awse together to talk over politics. thy would naturally talk over anything else of v terest to alL The railroad question used to be the question In onler when other things were through with in Sacramnto as in A- toria. And one day there came io ion a man named Judah, who said he hart found a good pass for a railroiul throus'n the Sierra, and wanted mom-y and men ! to make a survey, so as to be aMe to I prove the feasibility of the route.

The chief backers of Juduh were the five men from the party headquarters on K street. After the feasibility of the pass waf proved, the two hardware men, the two dry goods men and the grocery man con cluded to start the ball rolling for a ri" road. Astorians know how It goes, and have had a hard tu.ssle to Interest capi tal. These men had to contend with all the difficulties that go with such enter prises.

I heard an Astorian remark lately: "If It could only be known who Is at the back of this railroad, then people m's.-.t know what to do." I can tell this Astor- laa one thing about It, and that a. It 'tWnKi and lt hurt the cre,ilt of a mer hu the brand of C. P. Huntington. I firet heard of Huntington when 1 was a boy going to school In New Lon don, N. H. My roommate at the aca-my was from Connecticut, and another iwy from the same place came to see him one evening, and the two talked over the news from home. I listened and learned that Colli Huntlgton had gone to ul Ifornla for the firm by which he was employed. That he went on a salary and commission. That It was agreed that the Ann should send nothing but first-:!&s goods, and no culls should be sent. 1 .at Collls always had been prejudiced urilnst an article that professed to be what it was not. could not recommend anything Of that kind, and did not want to under take to sell anything he could not recom mend. Collls had said that a man was cheated that bought a poor axe at any price, for, besides losing the purcnase price, he also lost time fooling with lt I then learned that It was a harlwar firm he was going for. Next I heard of Huntington was In San Francisco. I saw packages landed on Je wharf from a ship for Huntington ar.d Hopkins. I Inquired, and learned that Uic store was In Sacramento, on K street ! Shortly after this a young man and my self took a Job ot mowing wild oats for hay. Mowing machines had not made their appearance yet. We looked through the San Francisco store for scythes, and there was not a good Bcythe In the Btore all culls, We talked it over, and I told him what I had heard about Huntington not dealing In anything but first-class gjods, and we concluded lt was better to go to Sacramento than to mow all summer with poor scythes. So my pard went to Sac ramento, and soon came back with four scythes. He said: "They have a "Tod lot of tools up there, but they charge enough for them. I could nearly have bought out the scythe factory back home for the money I gave for four scythes here." I next began to hear about M K street as the Free Soil, Black Republican Head quarters, and learned that this was ct the hardware store of Huntington & Hopkins. Five men were at the head of the party, which was pretty weak i in. The five men were Huntington and Hop kins, two men that kept a dry goods store, by the name of Crocker, and a man that kept a grocery store, by the name Ot Stanford. These five coming together, as party men, was the probable first chant to have any connection with the scheme, by subscription or otherwise. The road was built. Huntington stood in the front of battle, with full discretion to buy, sell, go ahead or fall back. The other four agreeing to stand or fall with him. He followed up his old rule of buying only the bet, having the beat of work done on the road, and when It was done It was said to be equal to the Penn sylvanla, or any other road. It became a by-word "There's no non sense or flummery about 'A K street." lt was during the building of this road, in April, 1M, that ten miles of track was laid in one day. The funny part of it was that eight men hJindled al the Iron for the whole ten miles. Those men walk ed ten mil?s, lifted and handled one thou sand tons of rails. Astoria boys, think of that while developing your muscle. Since the commencement of this road that same old Huntington motto, "Noth ing but the best," has been heard. That's why I say It has his brand on It It is possible that Hammond may have got hold of his branding iron. D. F. STAFFORD. rtlE CHURCHES.
